Sports Publishing Inc (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 30, 2000

The spectacular season turned in by the Auburn Tigers in 1998-99, when the SEC Champions earned a number-one seed in the NCAA Tournament, is just the latest in the long line of outstanding achievements generated by the coaching of Cliff Ellis. Winning has become a way of life wherever Ellis has traveled in the world of college basketball. Along with over 400 career victories, he also holds the distinction of being the all-time winningest coach in Clemson and South Alabama history, and he appears to be well on his way to doing the same thing at Auburn.

Since the first season of surprising all the doubters, Auburn has been a consistent winning program, and one that exploded onto the national scene last season. Clearly, Cliff Ellis has worked his coaching magic once again, and looks to lead Auburn basketball successfully into the new millennium.

This review is from: Cliff Ellis: The Winning Edge (Hardcover)

What separates good coaches from great coaches? What makes aprogram of college basketball successful? What motivates collegeathletes to excel? In almost all cases it's the coach, and over the years Cliff Ellis has made a habit of winning wherever he has gone.

From the beginnings in Cumberland Junior College and South Alabama, to his days with Clemson and Auburn, Ellis has put to together winning program after winning program. Ellis has taken many college players and guided them, taught them and most importantly given them the chance to succeed.

The book is more than just basketball, it's the story of a man who more than coach. As you'll read Ellis is also a teacher, author and very talented cook, the book has some of his "famous" recipes included.

Sports Publishing hits the game winning shot with this inspirational autobiography...you'll find the money is well worth it.
